Hello lybrate-user, first of all congratulations for enrolling in 10k event. 1. The very first precaution is to prepare mentally as well physically for the event. 2. Before going for a training run always warm up. 3. Keep yourself hydrated. 4. Remember rome was not built in one day. Same way you have to make your body compatible to run such a long distance. For that increase the distance of running under the guidance of a trainer or join a group of people who are regular participants of such events 5. If you cannot find such a group and are preparing alone then start running for shorter distances at first and then as your stamina grows increase the distance. Your body shud b habitual to run for a long span of time which requires practice on a regular basis. 6. Don't practice everyday. Do it twice or thrice a week. Do cardio and breathing exercises in between days as it allows your body to recuperate. 7. Have proper nutrition to make up for your lost strength. 8. If you feel like a muscle spasm then don't try to run. Have a rest of a day or two. 9. Wear knee caps or brace to avoid injuries. If any query feel free to enquire. I wish you the best.
